Mrs. J. J. Astor died in New York, after
an illness OF four months. Mrs. Astor was
born in New York sixty-one years ago, and
was Miss Charlotte Augusta Gibbs. She re-
ceived q good education, and was quite &C.

she became prominent member Of Trim
ity church. She took great interest in
church work. and no one in New York was
more beloved for her beneiactions and
charitable actions. She never was known

distress. Kind az an employer, she was
able to keep domestics around her for
about thirty years, and some OF them re-
garded her with almost filial affection.
She was a lovcr OF art, az her home fully
attests. Her son, Hon. William Astor.

So it happened that while Bobby

was being carried by the good-natured

which tho post Office would have re-

was afraid something would go wrong
with the poor little missive if he trust
ed it to other than his own hands, SO
he hurried time little and finally de-
livered Bobby's letter to the smiling

her master had it after he had eaten
hearty breakfast
"These rich ones are somehow bet

his cap to Betty, and hastened away.
And, by-and-by, when Mr..
leaned back in his chair to read the
paper, and digest the incest breakfast
in the world, the letter was put into
his hands. and with laugh he opened
it, wondering much what it could
mean, and not averse at being deemed
worthy the title and address Bobby
had given.
Reading, his face saddened, and at
last came the low-voiced exclama-
ton:

The mercury registered on Thursday
and Friday as high as 81. There was
a decided fall in temperature on Fri
day afternoon, which was highly ap-
preciated by those who had suffered
with the intense heat the two preced-

rather cool fer the crops. We hope,
however, no harm hss been done as
yet.
Our farmers have availed them
selves to the full extent of their vines
and sprouts, the season being so ia
vorable for potato planting.
Oats are pretty well gathered-a
very fine crop being raised in this sec,
ton.
Our corn is still ahead OF any in the
State, or at least, we cannot get any
one to take up the gauntlet thrown
down by Foreston Farmer. One q

old and knee high.

He went to the gallows singing a

The crime of Ross was particularly
revolving. The victim was an old
white woman named Emily Brown,
who was beaten to death by Ross on
December 10 last; and her body sold
to a medical college for SIS. He
acknowledged the killing, but threw
the blame Upon Andrew Perry, the
colored janitor OF the college, who, he
said, had made him drunk and in

Perry was acquitted of completely,
though he narrowly escaped lynching

Fred knights Revenge.

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Sept. 90
This afternoon, in a crowded restau-
rant, Fred Knight, aged So, a
moulder of hitherto good reputation,
met Miss Ida Wallace, a young woman
whose conduct has made her the sub
ject of scandal. Without any arn
ing and during commonplace CONVEX
s~ation, he drew a revolver and shot
Ida in the right ear. She fell uncon-
s%cious, and the Mortified spectators al
lowed knight to walk out with the
smoking revolver in his hand. He
went directly to the police station and
surrendered. He cody stated that he
had shot the girl because she had
given him a disease, which he had
communicated to his wife causing her
death. The deceased Mrs. Knight
left her husband a few months before
her death, and, having no friends,
went to the county aims house and
died, it is said, of a loathsome malady.
She vas very well behaved and re-
spectacle. Ida Wallace is uncon-
scious. Physicians say she will die.
One Too Many for Him.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept. 10.-The De-
partment of Customs has been ap-
prised of a trick which has just been
played on the American authorities by
the Captain of the "Alfred Adams"
a British Columbia sealing schooner.
The Adams " was seized in Behr-
ing's Sea last month by the United
States Revenue cutter Crush" and
her sealskins and fishing tackle taken
away. A prize crew was put on
board and the Captain was ordered to
navigate the schooner to Sitka. The
Captain seemingly obeyed for a time,
but after having parted company with
the Rush he coolly headed the
" Adams" for Victoria, B. c., where
she arrived a few days ago. The
prize crew could do nothing to compel
the Captain to proceed to Sitka-and
it is understood to have consisted of
only two men and the crew of the
" Adams" not having been removed,
was too strong for them.
A Clue TO In Children.
JERSEY CRY, N. j., Sept. 10.-After

mysterious disappearance of Mrs.

police have reached the conclusion
that they sailed on the Red Star Line
steamer Belgenland" with the Ger
man woman who came through with
Mrs. Ford ON the train from California.
Chief OF Police Murphy has ascer-
tanned that the woman's name is
Fort, and that her husband is an Of
icer in the United States Navy, on
leave of absence for three months.
Mrs. Fort accompanied her husband
who is going to look after some prop
erty that he recently inherited in
France. The "Belgenland is ex-
pected to arrive at Antwerp to-day and
Chief Murphy has t~elegraphed to the /
United States Consul there to look
for the children.
